Привет! Давай вместе разберёмся с этим упражнением. Итак, нужно вставить подходящие слова в пропуски. Стандартный английский для этих пропусков:
- because
- I'd (сокращение от I had)
- some
- when
- but
- that
- my
- it
Теперь, когда мы заполнили все пропуски, текст имеет смысл:
Hey Laura, Here I am in Spain! I'm sending you an email instead of texting because I haven’t got my smartphone with me. You’ll never guess why. Yesterday, I’d been walking in the hills all morning when I began to feel thirsty. I saw a village and went to buy some water. I couldn’t find a shop, though, so I used a tap that was on the side of a house. I was drinking some water when an old woman came out and started shouting. I don’t speak Spanish, but I just said sorry and walked off. But she followed me, shouting all the time. I quickly jumped on a bus that was just leaving. As the doors closed, I looked at the old woman and saw that she had my smartphone! I had dropped it outside her house and she was just trying to give it back! I was so embarrassed, but the really embarrassing thing is that I have to go back tomorrow and get my phone!
See you soon, Tracey
